New York State has a matching funds grant program (up to $50,000) that may
be applicable here. The rfp is located at
http://www.agmkt.state.ny.us/rfp/pdf-growny.pdf, the deadline for
submitting a proposal is August 31, 2000. (This is a matching funds grant,
feasibility studies are included as part of the admissible uses for funds).
Cheers,
Sandy
